Extron
NAV AV-over-IP, DTP3 extension and switching, USB-C collaboration interfaces, ShareLink wireless presentation, audio DSP, control processors and TouchLink interfaces.
Announced the USB Extender xi Series on 2 September, adding point-to-point USB extension to 100 metres and managed distributed USB matrix switching through Gigabit Ethernet to 600 metres. It also expanded DTP3 and moved its Vector 4K 12G-SDI / HDMI scalers into shipment.
Extron is modernizing proven room infrastructure around USB-C and networked AV rather than trying to become a meeting platform. Its value proposition remains reliability and engineered interoperability.
Validate USB device classes, switching latency, network segmentation and availability before standardizing USB Extender xi. Buyers should compare its managed network design with fixed extension and standards-based AV-over-IP alternatives.
